Search results

I know Bright Local already has a tool to check local search results from any location, but I also like to use isearchfrom.com as an alternate.
Additionally, and this may be too obvious, but The Local Search Forum (which we're currently on) is one of the best tools for any local SEO. The level...

Now that I'm looking more in to this it appears that the phone numbers are swapping after the cached page is loaded. Meaning tag manager is still firing on the cached page, but Google shouldn't see the dynamic numbers (I believe).
Here's a test you can do that may help.
Do a site search with...

@Yan Gilbert
I saw this same theory from a blackhat SEO (very possibly the same one).
I don't see any evidence this is true. I had a few sites that had pages de-indexed and none of them did anything remotely spammy. Additionally, high authority websites such as Wikipedia, Amazon, and Facebook...

There is a huge glaring issue for me in the Twitter thread by Ahref's CEO. There is no mention of how/why this search engine will be useful to the user. He mentions the world privacy, but there are far more developed search engines for this. It almost exclusively talks about how it will be...

Any time I've experienced this it has been due to an attribution issue. Have you seen a correlated decrease in users from other sources such as organic search, referrals, etc.?
Google Analytics gives you data that should help you figure out what's happening. I would look at what country the...

If you aren't aware yet Google has confirmed that there is a bug in their system that has been de-indexing pages from its index.
John Mueller confirmed the bug in a recent tweet. He also said that it has been fixed. However, people are still experiencing the issue. Just an hour ago (15 hours...

Many of us submit our listings to the top 4 aggregators for new businesses, but I'm curious if you find it useful to renew your listings every year?
The 2 sides I see are:
1. The aggregators already have your info, and if your NAP hasn't changed does it make sense to renew?
2. The listings...

I agree with @Colan Nielsen.
To add to what Colan mentioned, I've used Yext for enterprise level clients and spent $100,000+ per year with them. Prior to that, I was the sole person managing 1,000+ listings for the client on GMB.
Not only that, but I had roughly 15 other clients I was doing...

Hi all,
We're expanding and I'm looking for 1-2 more SEO's to join me at Postali.
If you or anyone you know is in the Columbus area and looking for a new position please feel free to reach out to me or apply on Indeed!
We're also looking for a Business Development Rep in Columbus and a...

This is very interesting.
The Google post mentions:
I'm curious if this well be a manual review by Google employees or if it automated somehow?
I also found this interesting from the report tool page:
Then it says:
I believe I get the intent of what they're saying. But, there is often...

Do you know the reason why you may not have internet access?
If you can get a decent cell phone signal you can easily create a hotspot for your laptop to connect to your phone's data.
I'm in a decent sized city and use Verizon. I can't tell the difference between my wifi connection and my...

I think it's important to remind ourselves that it's in the best interest for Google to gatekeep answers to these type of questions.
No algorithm can possibly distinguish between paid links by the website owner and paid links by a smart blackhat SEO.
What Google is actually saying (but won't...

Google is very aware of this tactic. And IMO this tactic doesn't work as well as it used to. Google should also be able to easily ignore this type of link building.
That being said, I've seen firsthand that it can help, particularly in competitive niches with everything else being relatively...
